The Process

It is easy to give away money, but difficult to do so well. There are three types of philanthropy: philanthropy that feels good; philanthropy that looks good; and philanthropy that does good. At Global Giving Advisors, LLC we believe that achieving the third type of philanthropy leads directly to the other two. We know it requires a strategic approach that begins with a defined mission and results in measurable outcomes.
